Destruction Derby

Vehicular demolition contest

A destruction derby is a motorsport event where drivers deliberately crash their vehicles into one another until only one car remains running.

The events typically use older sedans in enclosed arenas, with winners determined by being the last vehicle still able to move.

Figuratively, any chaotic situation with multiple collisions or failures: Rush hour traffic was a destruction derby out there.
